The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Folder problems with iTunes

Asked by wayneskid in Windows XP Operating System, iTunes Software, iPODs

Tags: ipod

I am trying to help a young family friend departing in 2 days for a job in Antarctica. Her PC is a Dell Latitude D620 running WinXP Pro SP3 and WMP 11.

She has some 2500 WMA files on the PC and they are arranged in folders with the folder name being the album title. The track files are unhelpfully named "01 Track 1.wma" etc. So, there is an 01 Track 1.wma for every folder. She was given an iPod Nano and wants to put all of her music on the iPod. So, i installed iTunes on the PC and during the final stages of the install, iTunes asks if I want to search for existing music and import it into iTunes. I said yes and the process ran for several hours. Of course when iTunes brought the files into the iTunes folder, they retained the same track names. The problem is that all traces of folder organization seems to be lost. In the newly created iTunes folder in My Music the files are named "01 01 Track 1 XXX.m4a" where XXX is 000 to 182. Interestingly, mixed in this mess of 2500 files there are a few that contain fragments of the album title, such as "02 Bon Jovi.m4a"  This is interesting because in the iTunes folder there is only one file with Bon Jovi in the filename but in the original folder of wma files there are 20 with Bon Jovi in the filename, one for each album.

Sorry to be so long winded with this but does anyone know how I can untangle this mess in two days? I would like to help this young lady out but I do have a life and other things to do, like attend to a job.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Wayne in AK
